1. Search the forum. You can do this from the Advanced Search Page or from our Google Custom Search, which will search the entire PKP site. If you are encountering an error, we especially recommend searching the forum for said error.

2. Check the FAQ to see if your question or error has already been resolved.

3. Post a question, but please, only after trying the above two solutions. If it's a workflow or usability question you should probably post to the OJS Editorial Support and Discussion subforum; if you have a development question, try the OJS Development subforum.

It looks like your article isn't assigned to a section; probably either the section was deleted, or the submission was imported from an OJS 1.x journal which sometimes allowed sectionless articles. Go to the submission's Summary page and assign it to a section; that should correct the problem.

We have a fresh new install, and section etc is filled in and chosen, but get the exact same error.Thought I would mention this, seeing as I am struggling to find a quick fix, and Gerhard seemingly also still requires a fix ( and shares my surname )This is for 2.2.2

Are you sure this is a clean 2.2.2 installation? Was it upgraded from an earlier release, and if so, how? If you get ##something.like.this##, it means that the locale key by that name couldn't be found in the locale file (typically locale/en_US/locale.xml).

After what you said, we did a clean/new install.You can add, but when you do an edit meta data later, the same error occurs.This is 2.2.2, and I am fairly certain that it's a minor bug somewhere, but it isn't coming to me.

What it comes down to, is editing meta data, gives you the form, everything looks fine, and at the end of the page, you get the error:

url: index.php/JEMDSA/editor/viewMetadata/22

Error: Fatal error: Call to undefined method Section::getAbstractsDisabled() in /home/trudie/public_html/OJS/JEMDSA2/ojs-2.2.2/cache/t_compile/%%58^58F^58F971B1%%metadataEdit.tpl.php on line 278

There must be some old code hanging around; for OJS 2.2.2, the getAbstractsDisabled() function was renamed to getAbstractsNotRequired. The getAbstractsDisabled function no longer appears anywhere in the OJS 2.2.2 codebase.
